Indiana will be the storm center of political activity, and the tabulated j figures for election returns for the last eight years will be no criterion as to 1 the wav the ballots will come out of 1 the box this year. We have good leadership and the people are with the democratic party. All the leading independent press has nothing but encouragement for I the democrats, and at this stage of the game the prospects are more than encouraging for success. Determination seems written all over the demo- ■ crats to do their part in electing their ; ticket, and the tread of sentiment has already began in their favor. The return of Hon. John W. Kern from the east has made him much sought after. He has explained the kind of a crimp the Indiana boys put

into the antagonists of Taggart. He ,' also bears the glad tidings that poli-' ties down east is of a decidedly rosy hue. He also relieves the situation by bringing the proper pronunciation of Esopus.it being E-soap us, with the accent on the soap. Much obliged, John. I For Rent—A story and a half house nine rooms.
